Abstract

Current Wiki engines are mostly monolithic applications which intermingle parser, user interface and data management backend. In this paper we show how these three components can be realised as lightweight, REST-style web services. We explain why this separation is useful and how the wiki community benefits from such an approach. Additionally, the presented wiki allows semantic statements and queries over the model.
